One of the few creatures capable of hauling cargo through the eternal forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On their broad, muscular backs, each carried roughly three tons of merchandise. Thirty tons in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You complain too much! It doesn’t even seem like you’re about to receive a payment that would keep you from working for years once we reach the Kingdom of the Burning Ice, hahaha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A relaxed laugh rolled out from somewhere behind the guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the caravan leader. A wealthy merchant from the Kingdom of the Burning Ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With short black hair and a powerful build, he looked far more like a warrior than a man who made his living behind a pen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when it came to anything other than money, he was a coward through and through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This love for money was precisely what had made him so successful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ran crossings from the wealthy city-states of the western plains, threading through the eternal forest to the kingdoms of the continent, where he sold imported delicacies to local elites for small fortunes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ideal route would have been by sea, and he was just two crossings away from affording his own boat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, there seems to be a settlement here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lead guard stopped, stepping out of the treeline into a clearing that stretched nearly two kilometers toward Lake Azur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Darkwall or something like that. A miserable place, not worth stopping at. Just keep going.\" The merchant waved a hand without opening his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well... this isn’t the Darkwall settlement, sir. You should see this for yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The merchant opened his eyes with an irritated expression, already forming a retort, but his lips closed the moment he took in the sight before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one side, a long road led straight to Lake Azur, shimmering faintly in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other, a palisade with fresh repairs stood with its gate wide open, the wood still pale and raw, clearly installed not long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still wanted to just continue his way. But curiosity had already won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Patting the thick neck of the giant black water buffalo beneath him, he steered the beast toward the Goldenveil settlement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others followed close behind, their massive frames barely clearing the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people of Goldenveil were not frightened by the enormous creatures. Quite the opposite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clutching silver, bronze, and the occasional gold coin, they surged toward the merchant’s employees with eyes burning with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others, like Roderik, even seized the moment to sell their own creations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merchants in Goldenveil were rare. Very rare. They had to make the most of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The merchant dropped from the bull’s head with ease and gestured for his four employees to handle the negotiations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no interest in haggling over trinkets. He wanted the lord of this place, and it didn’t take long to find him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the entrance of the lord’s mansion, a young man stepped forward. Golden hair, blue eyes, and a composed bearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greetings, and thank you for welcoming my humble caravan into your settlement, Lord...\" The merchant tilted his head, waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ethan Goldenveil.\" The young lord smiled warmly. \"Come inside. I’ll pour you something to drink, and then we can talk business.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Business! Now that’s what I like to hear, hahahaha.\" The merchant matched the smile, his excitement already sharpening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This humble one’s name is Ron, by the way. I passed through this area a few months ago and the place was in ruins. What did you do to bring it back like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He followed Ethan through the mansion with a curious look, turning thoughts over in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the young lord had unearthed a great treasure. And if he had, would he be willing to part with it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just got a little lucky.\" Ethan smiled, leading him into a well-kept office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a shelf, he retrieved a bottle filled with a strange green liquid, wisps of mist curling from it in the same pale color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the cork came free, the room filled with a powerful, medicinal aroma, dense and alcoholic, rich enough to make Ron’s aura reserves stir on their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swallowed hard, watching Ethan pour two glasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever that drink was, the mana and aura radiating from it were very dense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"May I, my lord?\" Ron asked, reining in the urge to grab the glass and drain it in a single motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go ahead.\" Ethan watched with quiet amusement as the merchant brought the glass to his lips and drank it down in greedy gulps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was divine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly brewed with healing spiritual herbs and second-stage mana beast blood, yet the density of mana it carried felt closer to something third-stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s it called? And how many bottles do you have?\" Ron set the glass down, wiping his mouth with his sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The name is Green Fairy Wine. I currently have fifty bottles available, with another fifty already in production.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm...\" Ron leaned back slightly, turning the numbers over in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The quantity didn’t disappoint. Wines of that caliber were always sold in small batches, offered exclusively to wealthy nobles at a fortune per bottle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifty of these, placed with the right buyers, and he would have everything he needed for his boat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Five gold coins per bottle!\" he declared, full of confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Twenty-five gold coins per bottle. Plus a commitment: in one month, you return here and open a shop in Goldenveil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do that, and I’ll supply this wine exclusively to you and no one else, with at least a thousand bottles a year beginning next year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron fell silent after hearing those words, scratching his chin thoughtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>",1006,"2026-05-29T05:49:25.142Z","2026-06-01T04:29:20.876Z",1,"novelbin.me","1bd978d3c46bdf13b50a68887f36e0df69bb0ab0e667a2784a9cdff0e434611a","the-golden-lord-has-a-perverted-sss-rank-summoni-chapter-80","the-golden-lord-has-a-perverted-sss-rank-summoni-chapter-78",205,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-golden-lord-has-a-perverted-sss-rank-summoni-cover.jpg"]
